Hi friendly friends!

I’m not new to the scene but has a new partner who is. I’m pretty outgoing and chatty so have never had a problem making new connections, particularly when I was out on my own but my partner is shy and struggles in bigger groups. They are all in, and want to play but find it a bit more challenging.

Anyone else have this experience? How do you handle it? Ideally we would have a regular group of friends and more to go out with but I’m still newish to the area and that takes time.

We are also older (40’s) and have been to BFWB, and a few big parties but haven’t had tons of success together. They are interesting and kind and so much fun once the ice is broken, well worth the time IMHO obviously 😍.

I’m not usually one to take the lead, more about letting things happen naturally and that’s harder for them. Any suggestions?
